The official BDB XML distribution provides the library in the C++, Java, Perl, Python, PHP, and Tcl languages. Because BDB XML is available under an open source license, a growing list of third-parties are providing BDB XML support in languages other than those that are officially supported.

BDB XML is supported on a very large number of platforms. Check with the BDB XML forum for the latest news on supported platforms, as well as for information as to whether your preferred language provides BDB XML support.
